The paradox of communication and lots of flavor

Talita Papoula

" Ten minutes is a critique of the kind of society where we are headed. A world where the premium is communication and understanding and that, however, raises continuous confinement invisible barriers that prevent us from direct contact with people. "

These are the words with which the English director Alberto Ruiz Rojo described this unique short film which he also wrote and who has achieved nothing less than a hundred prizes at national and international festivals, including the major Goya for best short fiction.

The film produced in 2003 and performed masterfully by the actors and Eva Marcel Gustavo Salmerón, get in less than sixteen minutes to create an atmosphere of viewer identification with the story and keep you hooked from the first scene until the final minutes of the film.

This occurs because the story is seen in the video whose theme is a situation that has certainly been true at least once for most people. Who has not had to resolve urgent issues on the phone and not gone mad when he spoke to a telephone operator who looked like a machine? That's exactly what happens to Ten Minutes .

The protagonist of the history, Henry tries to get to a telephone company simple information on which depends the future of the relationship with his girlfriend. However, it is almost insurmountable barriers to achieve this: despite the multitude of words to convince teleoperator says that "can not provide the information" you want, Henry is seen in front of a failure to communicate struggling desperately to overcome.



As the protagonist tries to show the teleoperator is sometimes necessary to "skip a lifesaving standard" viewers the film makes them think about how the cold and rigidity of the procedures or standards at times alienate people the real meaning of humanity. Moreover, history awakens us to the fact that, despite all the media available to us today, we are increasingly understood by the other and we move more and more of true communication.

On this, the remarkable paradox that reveals very interesting short: only when the telephone operator at a certain moment in history is identified with Henry is that his humanity is redeemed, and at this moment what happens is that they keep quiet, leading the protagonist to conclude: "For once, your silence makes you person" and "your silence is finally talking." That is, curiously into silence when they begin to understand.

What happens from there until the end of the short is an exciting scene that viewers not only takes your breath away, even more than that: to show them that although we are losing touch with the people and thus , communication with others, we have not been completely forgotten our humanity, so there is still hope.

It also believes that Alberto Ruiz Rojo, with whose words we want, plus I started this presentation Ten minutes on , finish: "After all, our history leaves open a door to hope. Above all the rules learned, over the threat of dismissal (...), above all, is our truth and we all have a human side, which may appear, though sometimes it seems impossible. At least I want to believe me. "It is also what we want to believe us.
